There are few men on the planet that look as intimidating as Samoa Joe does, with his intimidating size and sheer strength. But at the same time, he's not really been booked like the monster that he should be, quite honestly.
It's very difficult to find an athlete that moves like Samoa Joe does at his size. But the string of losses to AJ Styles during the time that he was contesting for the WWE Championship, really hurt the credibility of Samoa Joe.
And since then, he's been taking one pin after another in every situation that he's thrust into. He's usually the first person eliminated in multi-man situations, and it was slowly becoming very difficult indeed to take Samoa Joe seriously, at all.
Hopefully, this US title win helps Samoa Joe regain some credibility and be taken seriously by the WWE Universe.
